Stuart Hancock, our Composer in Residence for 2010-11, is a renowned and award-winning composer of both concert repertoire and music for film. Having studied in California, and at Downing College, Cambridge, Stuart now has a flourishing career composing for film, television, and commercials as well as theatre scores and music for the concert hall.
He has won industry awards for his music and sound design on campaigns for the British Board of Film Classification, Burberry New York and the 2002 BBC World Cup coverage. He has also scored many films, both shorts and features: most notably 'EMR', which won the Raindance Film Festival and went on general release in the summer of 2005, following its Cannes premiere. 2001 saw the Royal Festival Hall premiere of his new score for the Hollywood silent movie 'Lucky Star', with the Tempus Chamber Orchestra. Stuart's soundtracks to four recent films - 'Hawk', 'Underground', 'Bodyguard: A New Beginning' and 'One Night in Turin'- have been recently released on CD and to download, to rapturous reviews.

St Paul's Sinfonia's FILM SPECIAL concert presents two of Stuart's silent film scores: a brand-new score to the Buster Keaton comedy classic 'One Week' and his brilliant score to the Victor Borzage romance 'Lucky Star'. Music to stir the soul, enhance the action, and to make you experience films as never before! Don't miss this concert - the highlight of our season!
